Imagine if a candidate of any other party was found to have deleted an account with so many disgustingly offensive posts. I suspect we will hear very little of this as the Double Standards Squad continue to ply their trade to the benefit of the 5 million pound man

@TheNewsAgents @maitlis @jonsopel @lewis_goodall So with @lewis_goodall on this. The idea that people facing the sheer weight of life these days are feeling happier because a privileged monarch uttered some crafted rhetoric to nurse Trump’s ego, is incredible. The political elite maybe but for most, ‘jolly’, post-speech? Please

This. All of this.

A take on Starmer's Premiership heard far less than it ought to be.

@BritainElects @Moreincommon_ 28 percent want to be governed by a man who a decade ago led a campaign and managed the biggest con on the British people in history and 20% want to go back to the ‘good ‘ol days’ of 2022 with the people who helped facilitate it. A clear case of Stockholm Syndrome.

I despair.

"Tourette's is not an 'excuse' it is a medical, neurological condition... there wasn't any premeditation behind what John said."

Greg Storey, friend of John Davidson, describes how Tourette's causes "totally and utterly involuntary outbursts" as seen at the Baftas.

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.

I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.

This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.

Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

It's fucking wild we need a dead man's emails to believe the testimonies of 1000 women.

@virginmedia @Gatt_ @AskVrginMedia Ok, they say everyone deserves a third chance (they don’t but hey) I’ve messaged on instagram

[Steve Bookbinder @SteveBooky]

@virginmedia @Gatt_ @AskVrginMedia I just wanted to become a new customer. After your site said you can’t supply my area (there are several others in my building with VM broadband), I asked for support. They promised it wholeheartedly but delivered nothing. I cat waste anymore time on people who aren’t serious.

[Steve Bookbinder @SteveBooky]

@virginmedia @Gatt_ @AskVrginMedia And did you ever think of communicating that? Like telling me you’d arranged a spotter? I was promised call backs to discuss all, but nothing. I’m looking elsewhere. I need a professional outfit

[Steve Bookbinder @SteveBooky]

And even after contacting @AskVrginMedia with promises galore of support, NOTHING - no call, no help. It seems @virginmedia just don’t want new customers. Time to look elsewhere 🤷‍♂️

[Steve Bookbinder @SteveBooky]

@virginmedia Hi, thanks for responding. Your site comes back saying my postcode ‘not available’. But my building already has VM broadband customers connected (which is why I went for you guys). Reaching out in chat, I’ve had promises of call backs which haven’t happened. Been 2 weeks trying

[Steve Bookbinder @SteveBooky]

Is there any more complex a feat known to man than getting @virginmedia to take on a new customer? 🤦‍♂️

The audience erupts with applause
When Daisy Cooper blames the small boats on Farage and Brexit
"In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat"

"Today we have 46,000 a year"

"And do you know why?"

"Brexit....and Farage "

Just nuts. Caving in to Trump and Maga that easily doesn't bode well for Britain in general. https://t.co/uJM5FXIuUJ
